"Boom~"

"Whoosh~"

Towards midnight, the wind rose, and several figures shuttled through the forest, like invisible ghosts.

As we approached the house, my footsteps slowed down.

The first person bent down, and the next person lightly stepped on the back of this rao, and jumped lightly onto the courtyard wall.

At this time, the lights had already been turned off in the Lin Mansion, and it was dark all around, only the sound of gusts of wind.

A few black shadows swept lightly on the courtyard wall, and then disappeared into the dark Zheng

But unbeknownst to them, their actions had already been taken into account by a pair of eyes in the courtyard

"This forester is really rich, the forest mansion in the city has been burned clean by us, and such a mansion can be built outside the city."

There was a tenacious voice.

Someone responded: "This forester is also a big household in Pingzhou City, in the early years of the grain business, but the big grain households in Pingzhou City, the family can hoard tens of thousands of stone of grain every year, a few years ago, the famine, southwest, northwest, most of the disaster people migrated to the east, poured into the south of the Yangtze River, at that time the forester outside the family granary moved out of the granary to relieve the disaster, that year was also because of the forester's leadership, the rest of the grain households in Pingzhou City also followed suit, opened a warehouse to distribute grain, greatly relieved the pressure on the government, This is also the reason why this forester has been able to be blessed by the government over the years. ”

"Well, this forester is also a good person."

"Alas, although people are good, after all, it is a stumbling block for us now, we do things for the Xue family, compared to a big family like the Xue family, this forester is nothing."

"That's right, if it was in the past, such a good person was killed, and I, Chen, would have pulled out a knife to help."

The leader surnamed Xie who walked in front said tenaciously: "Two words less, don't wake people up." ”

"Brother Xie, how do we act?"

"Split up, our goal is only to find the forester's bedroom first, kill it, if no one finds out, retreat, if someone finds out, kill them all."

……

In a dark corner, Yang Lin, the head catcher, was wiping the big knife with a strip of cloth, and in the dark, his eyes were full of murder.

For more than two months, in order to catch these assassins, he did not sleep peacefully.

It's hard to wait for these assassins to appear tonight, how can he endure it.

After a while, a catcher approached softly and whispered to him, "Catcher, they split up." ”

Yang Lin nodded slightly, threw away the cloth strip unhurriedly, and stood up with a big knife: "Tell the brothers, guard every courtyard wall, you take the brothers into a group of five to guard every road intersection, as long as you find an assassin, immediately capture it alive, if you can't catch the living, you have to die, if you escape one, I will ask you." ”

"Yes," he quickly left.

Yang Lin held a big knife in his hand and walked towards the bedroom outside the forester.

In the back garden, the leader surnamed Xie had already found the bedroom outside the forester, because he turned around and found that this bedroom was the largest and most magnificent one, which was the most suitable for the identity of the owner's family, so he felt that this was the bedroom outside the forester.

In fact, he was right.

It's just that after he entered the bedroom, he stabbed the bed with a knife, but finally found that the bed was empty.

At the same time, Yang Lin, the head catcher, kicked open the door and stood at the door with a big knife, and at this time, countless torches lit up around the Lin Mansion, and the shouting instantly rendered this tranquility.

Xie Wen was shocked and fell into the scheme.

was about to turn around and retreat, but he saw Yang Lin standing at the door.

Yang Lin shouted loudly: "Turtle son, Lao Tzu has been waiting for you for a long time." ”

Then, the sound of weapons colliding rang out.

The rest of the black shadows who were acting separately were also surrounded by groups of hunters at the same time, and the Lin Mansion of Nuoda was divided into several battlefields.

Coupled with the shouts of those who heard the movement of the Lin Mansion and the maidservants, countless chaotic sounds instantly made the entire Lin Mansion extremely lively.

……

Early in the morning, as soon as Zhang Xiang finished practicing, someone came to report: "Donkey, there is a catcher outside the house who asks to see him, and he was sent by Yang Zhutou to pass the word." ”

Zhang Xiang nodded slightly, and his smile was unusually bright: "That must be good news, you go and prepare the car." ”

Then Zhang Xiang walked out of the east room and met Zhao Hanyan and the slave in the corridor, apparently preparing to find him.

Zhao Hanyan saluted him slightly, and said softly: "Donkey, I heard a report from the people in the house, is the horse going to go to the Lin Mansion outside the city?" ”

Zhang Xiang nodded; "It should be Yang Zhutou who caught the assassin, I asked him to send someone to pass a message to me after he caught it."

"Can Gao Ping go with the horses?" Zhao Hanyan used a consultative tone.

Zhang Xiang thought for a moment and shook his head: "Princess, the scene may be a little too bloody, it's better for the princess not to go, wait for me to come back, and then tell you the news." ”

"I don't go to see the assassins, I just wait for the horses in the Lin Mansion." Zhao Hanyan said again.

Zhang Xiang thought about it again, and then nodded: "Okay then!" ”

The slave also hurriedly said: "The concubine, the princess, the slave and the maid also want to go." ”

"You won't go, the money shopkeeper will send me some things later, you help me collect them and send them to my house." Zhang Xiang gave her an order.

The slave pouted, and let out an 'oh' with a little disappointment.

Soon, Zhang Xiang and Zhao Hanyan went out in a carriage together.

After coming to the Lin Mansion, Zhao Hanyan was taken to the living room by the wife of the forester to serve tea, and Zhang Xiang followed the Lin Mansion to a dilapidated firewood house.

Outside the firewood house, it was surrounded by a group of fast catchers.

There was the sound of whipping and screaming from inside.

After catching the catcher and going in to make a report, Yang Lin, who was sweating profusely, hurriedly walked out and said respectfully to him: "I've seen the horse." ”

Zhang Xiang waved his hand and looked at him.

Yang Lin had several knife wounds on his arm, which had been wrapped in strips of cloth.

"Hurt." Zhang Xiang smiled.

Yang Lin laughed: "Injury, it's no big deal, donkey, please." ”

After entering the firewood room, the scene was really bloody, five men in night clothes were hung up, all of them were knife wounds, whiplash wounds mixed together, two of them were still dying, and they could no longer open their eyes to look at Zhang Xiang, and the other three were panting and staring at him resentfully.

Yang Lin said: "Donkey, there were six people who came last night, one was arrested on the way to escape and was quickly surrounded and hacked to death, at the order of the horse, these five were captured alive, and I have been whipped all night." ”

"Have fun!" Zhang Xiang asked with a smile.

This Yang Lin has been holding back his anger for more than two months, and if he catches these assassins, he will definitely not be willing to fight hard, if Zhang Xiang hadn't ordered him to keep his mouth alive early, it is estimated that what he came to see would be a corpse.

Yang Lin laughed happily: "Happy, these turtle sons have been chasing me in the city for so long, and there are no clues at all, the plan of the donkey really worked, and they sent it to the door themselves." ”

Zhang Xiang asked, "Are you okay outside the forester?" ”

Yang Lin shook his head: "No, at the request of the horse, I let the forester live in the basement for the past few days, but they didn't find the forester." ”

Zhang Xiang nodded: "That's good." ”

Then he took the whip in Yang Lin's hand and said to him: "Yang Zhutou is tired all night, go and change into clean clothes first, rest for a while, and then hand it over to me." ”

"Then the subordinate will retire first, if there is anything, the horse will command." Yang Lin gave a slight salute and withdrew from the firewood room.

Zhang Xiang took the whip and walked back and forth in the firewood room, without saying a word, the depressing atmosphere finally made Xie Wen, who was the leader, unable to help it: "Shi can be killed, not humiliated, it falls into your hands, if you want to kill it, if I Xie Mou frowns, I will not die well." ”

"Don't worry." Zhang Xiang waved his hand and said to him: "If you answer my question, I can spare your life, my words always count, otherwise if you fall into the hands of the government, do you know the end?" You have also experienced how violent Yang catches his head. ”

"Hmph, you want to know the whereabouts of the stone heroes from my mouth?" Xie Wen sneered: "Wishful thinking." ”

The normal hard-boned mode, Zhang Xiang didn't think so, he set his eyes on the other two: "What about you? If you want to answer my question, just nod if you want, as long as you finish answering, I will ensure that you will walk out safely later. ”

"How dare you?" Shewin turned his head and looked angrily at the two companions.

Originally, there was a moment when I wanted to be soft, and I didn't dare to speak.

"Smack!"

Zhang Xiang whipped this Xie Wen and said softly: "I don't let you speak, you don't want to." ”

Xie Wen, who was in pain, snorted, but he didn't scream, and a mouthful of blood spit out from his mouth.

Zhang Xiang said slowly: "Don't think that you don't know why, I don't know your identity, the guest of the Xue family on Hedong Road, that's right!" Why do you think you'll be safe and sound? You don't, I won't let you go, the forester won't let you go, and the government won't let you go, even if you get out of here, the Xue family will keep you if they know that your identity is exposed? What kind of people the Xue family is, I believe you know better than me, only by killing you can the Xue family avoid suspicion. ”

"A colt dares to go against the Xue family?" Shewin sneered again.

Zhang Xiang spread his hands and said: "I don't dare to go against the Xue family, but I have no grievances with the Xue family, he has no courage, and there is no reason to kill me, I know that the Xue family is also instructed by others, and the people who instructed the Xue family will not know at your level, and I don't know, so I just want you to tell me, where are Shi Guangshun, Guan Sheng, Du Erniang and He Sinan hiding?" As long as you tell me where they are hiding, I will send you out of Pingzhou immediately. ”

"Don't even think about it, I, Xie Wen, am also a man in the rivers and lakes, I won't do this kind of betrayal, if you want to kill or scrape, I Xie Wen won't frown." Xie Wen puffed out his eyes stiffly.

Zhang Xiang shook his head regretfully: "It's really a hard bone." ”

He then ordered the catcher to go and fetch some salt water.

Seeing Zhang Xiang stirring the salt water with a stick on the ground, Xie Wen's eyes suddenly showed a trace of fear, he knew what Zhang Xiang was going to do.

If he just whipped him, he could still bear it, but if he sprinkled these salt water on the wound, no matter how hard a man was, he couldn't bear it.

But even so, he still didn't say a word.

His two companions were different, their eyes full of fear and panic, and their suspended bodies kept struggling.

After a while, Zhang Xiang had one of them untied, and then dragged them outside the firewood room, and soon, Xie Wen heard heart-rending screams coming from outside the firewood room.

Then, Zhang Xiang walked in again and continued to drag the other four out, the same screams stimulated Xie Wen's nerves again and again, and each time, the screams of his companions broke his heart defense little by little.

He didn't know how those companions had been abused by Zhang Xiang, let alone what Zhang Xiang had done to them.

In the end, when there was only one time left for him, Zhang Xiang walked in with salt water, with a bright face: "Your accomplices have been recruited, two of them can't bear it, and they fainted after it, but don't worry, I won't let them die, when they wake up, I'll let them leave, I'm gone, as long as I answer my question, I will spare his life, now you are left, you still have one chance." ”

Xie Wen's heart was cold, the previous accomplices had already had a tendency to soften, if it was really like Zhang Xiang, he was abused, he didn't feel strange.

But he still snorted coldly: "Since you already know, why bother to ask me again, just kill me." ”

Zhang Xiang smiled and said: "I want to make sure that each of you is not telling the truth, if there is a lie among them, then it is no wonder to me, at least, this is your own choice, fortunately, your four companions are not lying, now, are you, or not, or, if you want to lie to me, choose one yourself." ”

Then, the catchers outside the firewood room heard Xie Wen scolding and crying for his father and mother.

One by one, you look at me, I look at you, and a chill involuntarily rises from the bottom of my heart.

The pony was terrifying, and they had just witnessed how the pony had abused the four assassins, and none of them had been carried away consciously, and they all fainted in pain.

After a long period of screaming and scolding became weaker and weaker, the firewood room finally fell silent.

Zhang Xiang threw away the salt water bowl in his hand, clapped his hands with satisfaction, squatted down, and gently patted Xie Wen, who had been put down by him and was dying: "I knew this was the case, why did I pretend to be hard bones before?" As for this person, he is cheap, he will not die if he doesn't see the Yellow River, if you had been earlier, you wouldn't have to suffer from this. ”

"You'll let me go." Shewin lay on the ground, holding out a finger resentfully, pointing at him.

Zhang Xiang nodded: "Don't worry, I've always been a talker..."
